A sharp and clean plane is your next good friend. I've found Paul Sellars to be the most no-nonsense when it comes to this. I see a lot of people talking about expensive or complicated set ups and very specific ways to set up your plane. Paul uses mostly sandpaper and a bit of glass he found in the tip. I basically copied him for my chisels and planes and could shave the hairs off my arm with my half inch chisel by the time I was done.

Re lengths: most are ~2m. I need 4x 1m.
Some are more fucked than others.
Re accuracy: if we're talking de minimis, only actually need about a foot of that length to be square, and only really on two sides.
In reality I could probably get away with not bothering. But as most of it is painted in red cedar, I wouldn't mind getting that off anyway.
@stevo_com - you've reminded me I've got a work mate! So that plus using a wall sounds like the ticket. I've been using our garden table as it's bigger, higher, and outside rather than trapped at the back of the outhouse.
